My brother-in-law is a Poudrier and he was wondering on the origins of his family. He had immigrated from Quebec with his family.

Poudrier - Native American Information
Bucky, I believe you will find that if your ancestor was indeed a member of "The Nation," it was most probably of the Mohawk tribe given the part of Quebec you list. The Huron were not part of the confederation unless I've been misinformed.
There may be better information to be found at the St. Regis Reservation in Northern New York. (Adirondak area)

Can you furnish me the maiden names of your paternal grandfather's spouse and your great grandfather's spouse?

j.edward poudrier, native american wife
Hi my name is Sue and I believe you are talking about my grandfather Arthur Poudrier's parents. His father was Joseph Poudrier and he married an indian woman we have been told was iriquis. My grandfather married Robea Rondeau daughter of Thomas Rondeau and Emelia or Amilia Robitaille. They have four living children. Roland Poudrier, Pauline Doris Poudrier-Parent, Leo Poudrier, and Therese Rachel Poudrier-Bertora all in CT. Doris is my mother. any information you may have of my grandparents would be helpful. My grandfather Arthur Poudrier had a sister that died not so long ago in Canada. It would be neat to find out if we are relatives.
